A Catalogue of the Books in the Library has been made, 
to the 81st of December, 1867, and a copy will be sent to 
each Member. . 
The Council will be glad to receive presents of any works 
of Local interest, for the Library. 
J. O. Hatuiwett, Esq., F.R.S., has presented to the 
Library, copies of two of his valuable and interesting works 
—<‘The Calender of the Local Record of Stratford-upon- 
Avon’; and “ The History of New Place, Stratford-upon- 
Avon.” . 
Any Member wishing to take a Book from the Library, 
is particularly requested to see that an entry is made in 
the book kept for that purpose, which is on the Library 
table. The date must also be entered when the book is 
returned. 
Before Members are allowed to take Books out of the 
Library, a deposit of ten shillings is required. Some of 
the Books cannot be taken away from the Library. 
Owing to the losses, by death, of several subscribers 
during the past year, and the small number of additional 
members, the funds of the Society are in a less 
satisfactory condition than could be desired. A reference 
to the list of subscribers will show that only a few of the 
rich and influential residents in the County belong to the 
Society. Ifthe Members would solicit annual subscrip- 
tions from their friends and neighbours, it is probable 
that a considerable addition would be made to the funds 
of the Society. 
The Council have much pleasure in stating that the 
upper room has now been enlarged and otherwise 
improved, giving thereby increased accommodation for
